If Love Were All lyrics

I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I should be lonely.


I believe the more you love a man,
The more you give your trust,
The more you're bound to lose.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/judy_garland/if_love_were_all.html ]
Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near.


But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse.
Hey ho, if love were all.
